Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her speech and her leadership at the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. She is a real leader in committee.
She spoke a bit about the amendments that the NDP proposed in committee. I feel that at least one of those amendments was very important, namely the one that proposed an annual report with statistics. I would like to hear the member talk about that.
As we say in English, “If you can't measure it, you can't manage it.”
I believe that was the point of the amendment.
Could the member explain why this amendment was important and talk about the reasons the government gave for rejecting this worthwhile suggestion?
